“According to the saying, ‘When a ruler is disgraced, their subordinates are expected to bear the consequences.’ This is a direct insult to us. These few insignificant individuals clearly have a death wish. Have the arrangements for the film crew been made? I don’t want to see them still in Hengdian today.” The anger on Shang Ziqing’s face was not at all concealed.
“It’s already been arranged, but there might be some trouble. I heard that this film crew is backed by the second generation of someone high up in a television station, so they will likely come knocking on our door.”
“Don’t even mention which second generation it is. Even if that high-ranking person comes, it’s the same. Especially those three arrogant assistant directors. They must be blacklisted from the entire industry!”
Xu Fu nodded and left the office. Meanwhile, the people he had dispatched to Guangzhou Street had arrived. Led by Li Yang, they brought along a few staff members and security personnel and approached the film crew.
“Where’s your director?” Li Yang asked expressionlessly, addressing the leader, Brother Chen, who had confronted them before.
“Who are you?”
Li Yang glanced at him but didn’t answer. Instead, he walked straight inside. When he attempted to intervene, he was scared off by several burly security guards. The group walked directly into the film crew’s premises.
“Kaka, who are these people? Can’t they see we’re shooting here? How did they walk into the frame like this? Where’s the assistant director? Get them out!” A middle-aged man in his forties sat in the shade, watching a small TV in front of him, and shouted loudly. He completely ignored the fact that a group of people had just arrived.
“Director Li, The manager from Hengdian, Li Yang, is here,” The director who had ordered the others to buy fruits, walked in at this moment, his face still showing a hint of confusion.
“Li Yang? What is he here for? Did we not offer enough when we invited him to dinner earlier?” Director Li muttered quietly, then got up and walked towards the entrance.
As soon as he left the shade, he saw Li Yang standing not far away. Director Lo quickly put on a smile and said, “Oh, what wind brought Manager Li here? Please come inside.”
Unexpectedly, Li Yang completely ignored his attempt at friendliness and wore a stern expression. “Director Li, I apologize, but the company’s higher-ups have ordered you to immediately vacate Hengdian. If you don’t leave, we can assist you.”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. It was unprecedented in Hengdian’s history. Everyone stood there, dumbfounded.
Seeing that no one was moving, Li Yang’s face turned somewhat cold. He was well aware that all the film crews, big and small, that came to Hengdian passed through his hands. He didn’t expect that his words would be ignored like this.
“What’s the matter, Director Li? Do you need me to send someone to help you move out?”
After hearing this, everyone suddenly snapped back to reality. Their expressions all turned ugly, especially Director Li and the male and female leads. If this were to get out, how could they continue working in the entertainment industry?
Director Li, with a somewhat embarrassed grin, walked over to Li Yang and said, “Manager Li, we’ve known each other for a while now. I still haven’t quite grasped what’s going on here. How about we step into the pavilion and have a chat?” As he spoke, he even made a hand gesture with his right thumb and index finger.
Upon seeing this gesture, Li Yang’s initially cold expression softened slightly, but he didn’t follow Director Li into the pavilion. “Director Li, as a gesture of our old friendship, let me give you a piece of advice: move out quickly. It’s an order from the top management. If you can get a big shot to intervene, maybe you can resolve this.”
Upon hearing this, Director Li’s face turned somewhat pale. He looked at Li Yang in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said, “Manager Li, please tell me what’s going on, and I’ll make it worth your while.” Director Li used his hand to gesture the number ten.
Li Yang widened his eyes at this gesture and pondered for a moment before saying, “I’ll tell you, but you must promise not to disclose it to anyone.”
“Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t.”
“Your subordinates confronted the owner and even threatened him. That’s all I’ll say. Now, you need to leave immediately.”
Director Li staggered upon hearing this. Who else could be referred to as the owner except for the owner of Hengdian? His subordinates had not only confronted but also threatened the owner. He felt his blood pressure rise significantly in an instant. He knew it wasn’t the time to settle scores; he could only instruct his subordinates to pack up and leave.
“Thankyou, Manager Li, we’ll leave right away!” Director Li seemed drained of all his energy, looking much wearier.
Li Yang nodded and stood still, watching as the crew members packed up and left Guangzhou Street.
As he watched Director Li and the others depart, Li Yang muttered quietly to himself, “It’s not that I won’t help you; it’s just that your luck wasn’t on your side!”
